About Us
ABTEK Environmental specializes in EPA Method 9 testing for generators operating in New York City. This test is used to obtain the certificate to operate for generators with a capacity at or above 40kw
Why Do You need an Opacity Test?
As of January 2017, NYCDEP updated Title 15 of the Rules of the City of New York by creating Chapter 44. This means that all generators operating in New York City with a capacity of 40 kW or more, which have been registered or permitted with the NYCDEP, must undergo opacity testing. Testing must adhere to the USEPA Method 9 procedures and must be conducted by an EPA Method 9 Certified Emission Evaluator.
What is an Opacity Test
An opacity test is a procedure used to assess the level of smoke or particulate matter emission from an engine or generator. When a generator is running, it produces exhaust gases that can be harmful to the environment and public health. To measure the level of smoke that comes out of the generator, an opacity test is performed by measuring the amount of light that can penetrate the exhaust plume. The opacity level is determined by measuring the percentage of light that is blocked by the exhaust particulates. The test can be performed by a certified evaluator who will measure the opacity level. Regular opacity testing is important for maintaining regulatory compliance and reducing the impact of generator emissions on the environment.
